about

The title track of the EP begins with a distance drone. A D# tone was captured on a sample & hold pedal in the electric guitar rig. The lead synthesizer holds on that same pitch, though slowly modulating in pitch and timbre. As the crescendoing tone builds intensity, the band swells in on an unsuspecting E major chord - placing the held D# drone as the major 7th. Suspended cymbal and spontaneous bowed D# tones from the vibraphone are added in between synthesizer and guitar swells. The band slowly fades to the sustained D# tone once before continuing to the climax. Floor tom rolls, suspended cymbals swells, and extended chords rolled in the vibraphone are introduced as the soundscape reaches its peak. The bass synthesizer slides to C# and finally to A underneath the Emaj7 chord - the first and only harmonic changes in the 7-minute piece. The band returns to Emaj7 and eventually drops out to reveal the sustaining D# tone before fading away.
